First of all, sorry we didn’t manage to get any write-ups done last week. It was a perfect storm of lack of time, computer issues, a ton of admin and cancellations that had to take precedent and me being away for two days in rehearsals. I promise this won’t happen again.
Anyway, yesterdays gig at The Star of Kings. After what was some interesting issues with public transport, which caused us to start a bit late, we got off to a cracking start with Alex Watson and the problem with budget funerals. It was then over to Simon Hall, the man who needs no mic, but might need a volume control in a lift. After Simon we had Aidan Morris and the main difference between Americans and Canadians. It’s all in the soooory. Jake Laverde was next with just why ADHD sufferers have a tough time with getting laid before Michael Cummings showed us he has the ye of a professional photographer, who works in the medium of Braille. Reece Kidd was next with why he doesn’t date Irish women, largely because those relationships are based on splitting bar bills. It was then the turn of Tony Carr and why he’s at an age where not getting a Christmas card from someone means he’s missed another funeral. Anthony Jeannot was hot on Tony’s heels with the mystery of his nationality. He has Australian and Mauritian parents, which apparently makes him Turkish. James Onionz was next with everything from polite cash machines to Boris look-a-likes and failed personality tests. Closing the first half was the brilliant Richard Woolford and puppet orgies to watering can cans and the joys of knee touching.
After the break we got off to a cracking start with the fabulous Sallyann Fellowes and how God has a hissy temper and Gabriel is a wee bit camp. The utterly pun-tastic Mark Rivlin was next with the ultimate Ru Paul lip-sync finale on the Titanic. We then had Mj Hunter and why getting 3 out of 100 might not be the 33% score he first imagined. Ros Hale then confessed to hitting 50 and it all going tits up. Or tits down as it turns out. We then had Harry Pereira who has an issue with eating between meals being trendy. Tom Vousden then gave us some Haiku horrors and breakup dissing before Kimberly Policella had the realisation her kids reassurance that MILF means mother I’d like to friend might not be accurate. Closing the show was the hilarious Evaldas Karosas (pictured) and just why 2 inches really do make a difference and why guns, a six pac and glasses a nerd does not make.
So that was yesterday, and it turned out to be a fun gig. Headlining next Sunday we have Steve Vertigo and Sallyann Fellowes.
